Such good intentions! I brought around 100 hexies to baste and
stitch while we were on vacation, but I only got 5 done, and none
stitched. No regrets thought, it was a tough trip with Jack and I
sick, so we made the best of what we had and enjoyed ourselves any way we could.

Happy Summer! I don't know if it's summer where you are, but I'm on vacation and totally feeling it~

We are in Paros at the Anezina Village Hotel (still scheming to pull together a quilt retreat here, how about June 2015, anybody?) and the cicadas are chirping very loudly. It's beautiful here, but I haven't found any time to sew. Jack was sick last week and I caught whatever he had so as much as I'm enjoying being here, whenever we're not doing something as a family, all I want to do is sleep. Hopefully it will run its course and I'll be back to myself soon.
Here are my updates from the last week..
I stitched part of one hex-diamond (worked on it while waiting at the salon), and cut a bunch of fabric for future hexies..
Have you guys been more productive? Please link up below.

This week marks the 1 year anniversary of the US/Canada release of Quilting on the Go and I want to give a HUGE Thank you to everyone who has bought, read, posted about, o…

We had another great NYC Mod Guild meeting over the weekend. Here are
some of the group's epp stars.
I worked a bit on this quilt this week
but didn't do any of my own projects. I found out the Thessaloniki quilt guild is also doing a group epp project, see Zaferia's post below. What have you been working on?

I laid them all out and I've got 12 units done so far. This is good. I wanted 20 done before the summer, but I hadn't anticipated taking a break to finish the tiny hexie stars, so... I'm calling this successful progress. And technically summer doesn't start for another 3 weeks. Maybe I'll actually make it to 20 by then?
Thank you all for your kind words, thoughts, emails and comments from my last post. Acceptance is coming, slowly. This week I took the backing fabric scraps and fussy cut some birds for my next diamond. There will be a medium turquoise between the yellow and white fabrics.
I like this project because I can focus a lot on fabric choice. I don't know if I could make a quilt with just 2 or 3 fabrics in it.. I have before (wait, no, that had 4 fabrics in the top), but that quilt had different layers of meaning, making it served a different purpose. Multi-fabric stash quilts are so satisfying for me these days.. some might say they're …
